  1. a whole field of sunflowers - wow. the second shot is my favorite. that one really captures the feel of your poem. the poem is great man. i love using personification with nature. reminds me of a few of my haikus. here's one:

    how can you remain
    a sunflower
    with a moon like that?

  2. I like that, man....I have some other pictures from mid-summer that are of a different field full of sunflowers- all in bloom...way more flowers than are in this picture. What a sight to see. Thanks for the feedback, buddy!!!

    This poem throws me. It's great. I feel like I get whip-lash from it. As if my attention is snatched away from what I thought it would be. One of the better haikus I've read lately. Just right...I keep reading it...

  4. Look at that scope of decay. It's amazing that they just wither. Those are truly majestic flowers... And I really love the poem. I enjoy it because to me it's like a quote-- but captures the truth. And that haiku is GREAT, Doug. It really has a power to mould two types of beauty together in a quite surreal way. And I love the way that it's posed as a question. Awesome stuff.
